Motion of a car on a level road
Forces acting on the car :
1.The weight of the car, mg
2.Normal reaction, N
3. Frictional force, f
N--mg = 0
N = mg
The centripetal force required for circular motion is along the surface of the road, and is provided by the component of the contact force between road and the car tyres along the surface. This force is nothing but the frictional force. The static friction that provides the centripetal acceleration.
Motion of a car on a banked road
We can reduce the contribution of friction to the circular motion of the car if the road is banked
N cos θ = mg + f sin θ
The centripetal force is provided by the horizontal components of N and f.
N sin θ + f cos θ =mv2/R
As you can see, the magnitude of frictional force has decreased by banking the road. Hence the wear and tear of the tyres will be less

how are radial tires different then other tire brands?
Radial tires are made specifically to reduce the wear and tear of your car whereas goodyear tires are simply regular tires.
What are the best practices for maintaining and prolonging the lifespan of tires on a gravel road?
To maintain and prolong the lifespan of tires on a gravel road, it is important to regularly check tire pressure, rotate tires, and drive at moderate speeds to reduce wear and tear. Additionally, avoiding sharp turns and sudden stops can help prevent damage to the tires. Regularly inspecting tires for signs of wear and tear, such as cuts or punctures, and promptly addressing any issues can also help extend their lifespan.
Can winter tires be used in summer?
Winter tires are not designed for use in summer because the rubber compound used in winter tires can become too soft in warm temperatures, leading to reduced traction and increased wear. It is recommended to switch to all-season or summer tires once temperatures consistently rise above 45°F for better performance and durability.
Are studded tires safer than snow tires?
Studded tires will benefit you greatly on ice and sometimes in very hard-packed snow. Loose and/or deep snow, wet or dry pavement however studs will actually give you Less traction than snow tires. Interpret this answer as you see fit, but given that you rarely have pure ice on the roads for any length of time, I see studs as dangerous, expensive, and unnecessary. Also, check your local laws, in most parts of the country they are illegal to use because they tear up the roads faster.
How often do tubeless tires go flat?
Tubeless tires are less likely to go flat compared to traditional tires with tubes, as they are designed to seal punctures on their own. However, they can still go flat occasionally due to factors like punctures, improper installation, or wear and tear. Regular maintenance and proper care can help reduce the chances of tubeless tires going flat.
How does a burn out ruin tires on race cars?
A burn out will ruin tires on race cars by burning up the rubber. The rubber of the tires will get worn from the friction of the pavement causing the tires to tear.
What is the yellow diagonal stripe on the outside of the tires for?
to measure the wear and tear of the tire usage
What are the different options for Goodrich Tires?
Some different options include radial tires and whitewall. They also offer racing tires and overall general tires for average wear and tear. They also offer snow tires for driving on ice and snow.
What are some things to do to protect trailer tires from wear and tear?
The number one thing to do to protect your trailer tires from wear and tear is to maintain proper air pressure. You will also want to make sure that the trailer is not overloaded and that the load is balanced.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of studded snow tires?
Studded snow tires will have great traction but can tear up the road and so will only be available in some states.
Will 22 inch rims fit on a 1991 buick lesabre?
Not with out a lift kit ! You will tear your tires up !
What are the best practices for selecting and maintaining thorn-proof bike tires to prevent punctures during rides?
When selecting thorn-proof bike tires, look for models with reinforced layers and puncture-resistant materials. Regularly inspect tires for wear and tear, and keep them properly inflated to reduce the risk of punctures. Additionally, avoid riding over debris and sharp objects to further prevent punctures during rides.
